The Entwined Queen’s Shawl is a symmetrical triangular shawl worked from the center-top down using two-color brioche stitch. The gorgeous repeating pattern is created using left and right brioche cable stitches. This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size.

The entwining cable pattern is based off a cable motif I created for another project but never published. I picked it up again with the desire to create something beautiful. Between the entwining cables and the bold red and black colors, evocative of ancient power and royalty, this shawl became the Entwined Queen’s Shawl. I really hope you enjoy it!

Pattern is provided in written and chart form. Also provided are links to video demonstrations for the cast-on and the brioche cable stitches.
